Quoted By:
If we were perhaps somehow able to confabulate some manner of flying contraption which could take advantage of the luminiferous aether, much as a bird's wing does of air in flight, we would, God willing, be able to transverse great distances in a matter of days or daresay hours, even such as the span between Greenwhich and Philidelphia, and perhaps even escape the bondage of gravity to explore and exploit the other heavenly spheres at our leisure. Imagine it you will fleets of these "air ships" ferrying holidaymakers to vacation resorts in such exotic locales as the African savannah or the verdant forests of Venus. The universe would be mankind's proverbial oyster.
